So, my character is inadvertantly having a thing with Alistair.  I mean, he asked nicely, and darn it, he does look cute in that Warden armour.  But suddenly he's all "You need to break it off with Liliana".

But I was NOT doing anything with Lili.  Typical male excessive imagination, am I not right?  So I tell him "Nope, you are the one and only".

Next I know, Liliana is telling me I'm not the first to disappoint her, -15 disapproval, and I feel as if I just got dumped.  Sheesh.  I mean...where was the option to tell her "Love you, but not in that way"?

Come on everyone, stop sulking will you?  There's a blight on!

You flirted with her in one of your conversations and this started the romance. Please remember to be mean to people you do not want a romance with at all times, it will dispel any thoughts of you liking them.

[SuperMedbh]

I so totally did NOT flirt with her. Chatting about shoes is not flirting, or I'd have a much more complicated life.

[Dermain]

Well apparently you did otherwise Alistair would not have brought it up.

It's really hard to avoid romance with Leiliana. The same thing happened to me. That conversation about what are you going to do after this gets you into it and once you're in the conversation, there's no way out. Do not inquire politely as to her plans, she totally takes it the wrong way, no matter what you say in the options given. The conversation after that is the one that makes it serious (as I recall). Next thing you know, she and Alistair both think it's a big deal, and all you've done is be nice!

You're not alone. This has happened to me once before. I'm not sure of all that triggers her to think you're romancing her, but definite ones to avoid are any choices where you ask about her relationship with Marjolaine or ask if she likes being in other women's company.

I had the same thing happen in reverse...

[Chas1024]

My female character had this conversation with Liliana which started with her saying how nice my hair was (strange I'm bald). I this case I had options to either effectively tell her I didn't swing that way or to initiate a romance.

Rofl. Sign me up!

By the way, the same thing happened to me with Alistair as well. I swear I never picked any answers that could be considered 'flirting', but Zevran seems to think otherwise, even though my PC has the option to say something to the effect of: "it's not the way you think it is". However, Zevran still insists that my PC breaks off her 'romance' with Alistair. Strange, very, very strange, that.

Also, my PC did tell Leliana right off the bat that she doesn't swing that way. The romance turned off, but somehow or other it turned back on. Twice! I know for certain that I did not flirt with her, of that I am sure.

[Chaos-fusion]

This is why I adore Zevran. with him you can clear it up quickly, obviously and he doesn't go sulking about it.

With leliana, I ended it once, did something or other during which she did her just friendly "I know that look" greeting, then I said something wrong in the next conversation because I apparently got it going again. Arg!

In this game, being simply friendly somehow counts as a flirt.

[Little Mama]

I hade the same trouble with my elfen mage. She was romancing Al but after talking to Leliana suddenly was at adore instead of "friendly" and when I talked to her again she sad. "You love Alistair", as an accusation. And she already knew that, since we already had talked aboute it.
I thought WOOT and went back to an old save to fix it...

With Leliana you must be clear on what you want.
If you just want to be friend, make that clear over and over again... as with Zevran.

Whit Zev its clear what will trigger his intressted, but Leliana is more sneaky.
It can be only one sentence that trigger the hole "romancing" thing.
And, as Tamyn said, tip on your toes when you talk aboute Marjolaine.

My "nice girl" wants only Alistair and has keept everyone else on the friendly side. Not even Zevran has tried to get to her in any other way then as friends.

Only with Alistair if you are female and Leliana no matter what sex you are. Zevran will initiate any romance if you do not and takes "no" graciously. Morrigan is strictly heterosexual and is hard to get. Interestingly when my male character romanced Leliana, I got a nice dialogue with Morrigan where she asked if there could have been a romance between "us". I gave her the "It could have been possible if not for Leliana" reply and saw regret in her face. The way the animators gave facial expression and body language at times to match the dialogue is superb.

Avoiding a romance with Alistair is easy for a female character. Do not initiate any conversation with him and when he initiates one, never select the options that indicates your feelings are anything more than comrades in arms.

With Leliana it is easier for a male to avoid a romance as the romance options are obvious. However it is not so clear with a female character what options are the triggers and what are not. At least not to this real life male. Maybe they are obvious to a real life female.

As far as I know, Zevran is the only one who stays 'turned off'. All the others either turn back on, depending on what the PC says, or something wonky happens.

The above scenario in my game was that Zevran insisted that I break it off with Alistair. I checked my PC's approval with Alistair, and sure enough, it was at 75ish and 'friendly'. However, because Zevran was so insistent, I had my PC-girl check it out. Lo and behold, as soon as I clicked on 'friendly' Alistair, I get the "so you have made your choice" dialogue from him.

[Loki330]

With Leliana I found it quite straightforward to avoid accidental romance by picking the 'We are B.F.F.' type dialgues

[ejoslin]

As soon as you choose one, the other becomes friendly even before you talk to them. I think it's a nice touch that you have to actually go and break it off and they make you feel so crappy about it. Leliana I turned on after doing her personal quest more than once, not meaning to, by asking her about Marjolaine. I just avoid that dialog now.

[Sabriana]

That would make sense, Ejoslin, but I kept checking throughout to make sure that there was no Alistair romance. He never was 'interested' in the slightest bit, and went from 'neutral', to 'warm', to friendly, just as I intended the play-through to be.

That's why I said something wonky happened.

Ooooh, yeh, the romances do bug out.  I've done a play through where had I romanced Alistair ever, I would have messed it up (the never romanced marriage), and i would be most upset had that happened.  

And you're right, you did make that clear.  I read too quickly!

[Sabriana]

You see, I tried to do that as well, Ejoslin. But then the bug happened, and instead of reloading I just let my PC go ahead with it. The thought of marrying Alistair didn't sit well with either of us. So we (PC and I) just stayed friends with Alistair, and there were no more bugs, thank goodness.

Except for Leliana who seems to insist on romance. Even though I do pick the 'let's be best buds only' options, and the 'don't swing that way' options. I have to pay close attention next time and see if there are answers that turn the romance back on that I see as only friendly answers and the game sees as flirting.

[jsachun]

Maybe there should be a dialogue option with Allister. "But you can have us both" with +15 Approval rating from both Leliana & Allister.

[flagondotcom]

...and this is why I gave up and installed the Polygamy mod. I got too tired of having a bunch of 13 year olds all think I was flirting with them just because I talked to them at all...so now they're *all* in love with me.



Did make it easier to achieve the foursome at the Pearl, though...

[Sialater]

The only way to really get Lelianna off your back, I've found, is to have HER dump YOU. When I screw up and accidentally flirt just to get her to the point where she gives me the Marjolaine quest, I end up telling her I can't choose, so she dumps me.



She's so much easier to deal with that way.

[SarEnyaDor]

I think I stumbled into it by answering her liking my hair the wrong way ... though I didn't think any of those were flirts. LOL I just don't talk to her unless I want to romance her now, it is the only safe way.

Really, I just romance her to get Marjoline's Recurve, so she can be of some use besides picking locks for me.
